Höegh Evi and Port-La Nouvelle Partner to Develop Hydrogen Import Terminal in Europe
Key Ideas
  • Höegh Evi and Port-La Nouvelle have signed an MoU to establish a floating terminal for hydrogen imports, connecting Europe to suppliers in the Middle East, North Africa, and the Americas.
  • The terminal at Port-La Nouvelle aims to accelerate the shift to clean energy in Europe by becoming a significant hub for hydrogen import, facilitating up to 210,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year by 2030.
  • Collaboration with projects like HySoW Hydrogen and Teréga will enhance the energy attractiveness of the Occitanie region, creating job opportunities and promoting the energy transition in Europe.
  • Port-La Nouvelle's strategic location and existing marine infrastructure make it an ideal entry point for hydrogen and low-carbon fuels, driving the establishment of a crucial clean energy hub in Europe.
Höegh Evi, a global leader in marine energy infrastructure solutions, has partnered with the port of Port-La Nouvelle in France to develop a floating terminal for importing hydrogen from producers in the Middle East, North Africa, and the Americas. This collaboration aims to facilitate the shift to clean energy in Europe by establishing a key hub for importing large volumes of hydrogen. The partnership involves connecting Port-La Nouvelle to major hydrogen transport infrastructures, enhancing the energy attractiveness of the Occitanie region and promoting job growth. The agreement focuses on importing up to 210,000 tonnes of hydrogen annually by 2030, subject to the readiness of France's hydrogen pipeline infrastructure. Höegh Evi, known for its expertise in floating energy infrastructure, emphasizes the importance of enabling Europe to import clean molecules to support the energy transition. The project involves a feasibility assessment and infrastructure design within the port to realize the ambitious goals. Port-La Nouvelle, keen on becoming a major player in the energy transition, is excited about turning into the European gateway hub in the Mediterranean for hydrogen. The partnership between Höegh Evi and Port-La Nouvelle signifies a positive step towards advancing clean energy initiatives in Europe.
